Hello! My name is Mary Connelly.

My hobbies are quite varied. They include reading (romance, sci-fi, medical thrillers, well, pretty much everything but horror), crafting (way too many types to list), learning about web design (slowly getting there!), sewing (clothing-even made my own wedding gown!, curtains, toys, etc.), baking bread, cooking (learning new recipes all the time), and the list goes on.

My favorite collectibles are dragons, bunnies, and cats. I have all sorts of little bunny figures, stuffed bunnies, etc. My dragon and cat collections are just beginning.

I am also a big fan of Phantom of the Opera, although I have yet to see a live performance. Oh well, someday...I am sure of it!

I have 4 cats, who are the joy of our family. My husband does equal duty with the spoiling, as do my two boys.

I have two boys, Peter and Benjamin. They are ages six and five and are quite a handful. It is fun watching them grow into little men.

On April 3, 1999, I married one of my best friends. Martin and I had a small wedding, which was perfect. I think everyone that was there had a great time, especially all the children.

We really took a lot of time planning the wedding and it showed. That is one of the nice things about having similar interests...we thought the same way about most of the stuff involved with wedding planning.

Recently, I finally found out about the SCA, which was introduced to me while I lived in S.Korea. My family and I have been attending events and are planning to go to a summer event that lasts 2 weeks. I can't wait! We are learning a lot and are having a blast.

Well, enough rambling for now.. I will update this page here and there, so please come back to see me!
